Summer grinds are available in Cork, in person or online, delivered by a fully qualified primary school teacher with 8 years of experience. Lessons cover English, Maths and Irish for primary school aged children. The aim is to give children a confidence boost over the summer holidays, helping them stay on track or catch up before returning to school, rather than a full academic-year commitment. Both in-person and online formats give some flexibility for families depending on their summer schedule.

Study Skills course (online)
This online Study Skills course runs over four sessions and is designed for students facing the pressures of Junior Cert or Leaving Cert exams, though the techniques suit anyone finding revision overwhelming. Rather than a generic list of study tips, it works through a structured system covering time management, active study techniques, memory strategies and exam preparation. Each session targets a specific area: organising revision time without stress, studying smarter rather than longer, remembering key facts using proven recall strategies, and approaching exams with more calm and confidence. Downloadable worksheets and templates are provided alongside the live sessions, giving students tools to keep using after the course ends. Enrolment is handled online.
